Lady Jersey chose Caroline of Brunswick to become George IV's wife. She selected a woman 'with indelicate manners... and not very inviting appearance', and George, who hadn't met his wife before marrying her, was suitably disgusted. This tale reveals a story of surprising modernity that sheds light on a revolution.
